NCSA Mosaic
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is [NCSA Mosaic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosaic_(web_browser)), one
|
|
of the first graphical web browsers. This version has barely been modified
|
|
since the last official release, version 2.7 beta 6, in 1996. You may also be
|
|
interested in [Mosaic-CK](http://www.floodgap.com/retrotech/machten/mosaic/)
|
|
and [VMS Mosaic](https://web.archive.org/web/20070911192043/http://www.openvms.org/stories.php?story=07%2F09%2F03%2F1740114), which have
|
|
been substantially improved from the original.
|
|
|
|
If you're on Linux, your time machine is fueled up and ready to go! Follow the
|
|
instructions below to build and run.
|
|
|
|
Many thanks to [Sean MacLennan and Alan Wylie](https://web.archive.org/web/20120915154245/seanm.ca/mosaic/) for
|
|
doing the heavy lifting. And, of course, hats off to Marc Andreessen, Eric
|
|
Bina, and the rest of the [NCSA](http://www.ncsa.illinois.edu/) team for
|
|
kicking things off for us. Thanks!
|
|
|
|
[Alan Dipert](https://github.com/alandipert) took the last release of Mosaic, put it
|
|
on Github, and made some fixes. [Tim Pizey](http://pizey.net/~timp/) modified
|
|
it so that in-document javascript is not displayed.
